  • OPH 60th Birthday 29 March Lorraine Beatty, Carol Symes, Robert Malekin, Marie Slater, Lisa Summers
    Happy 60th Birthday OPH! 29 March 2022 Today is a very special day… Osborne Park Hospital is turning 60! Opened on this day in 1962, OPH originally served the general medical and maternity needs of the City of Stirling catchment. Quickly becoming known for its friendly, caring and efficient atmosphere, our hospital saw 76 admissions in its first full month (April 1962), served around 1,300 patients in its first year, and by 1966 had admitted 10,000 patients – those were the days! From humble beginnings, OPH now plays a key role in how we deliver specialist health care services to the north metropolitan area. In early 2021, OPH and SCGH became truly one health care group, with a divisional restructure to deliver the two sites, one service vision for SCGOPHCG. With 187 beds and nearly 600 staff, our dedicated team at OPH cared for more than 103,595 patients in 2021. We’ve seen significant developments at the...
  • Falls icon
    OPH staff get on the front foot with falls 16 March 2022 Staff from right across OPH Ward 5 came together last month in an initiative to help reduce patient falls. Dubbed the Fantastic Five February Falls Fiesta, the initiative was led by Christine Williamson (Clinical Nurse Manager), and saw teams from Pharmacy, Nursing, Physio, OT, and Medical working together to create displays designed to educate and raise awareness around falls. Falling while in hospital is a serious risk for patients and can result in injury or increased mortality rates. There are many risk factors which have been identified as contributing to in-patient falls and for each of these, strategies can be put in place which mitigate the risk. Some of the most common factors patients can be affected by include: Poor mobility and/or balance Cognition impairment Medications Elimination problems Foot conditions and/or inadequate footwear Previous falls S...
